Pope Leo XIV meets Ales Bialiatski, presses AI ethics after encyclical
Pope Leo XIV met Belarusian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski at the Vatican and pressed for stronger AI safeguards following his Magnifica Humanitas encyclical. Bialiatski, a former political prisoner, briefed the Pope on the crackdown in Belarus and the human rights risks tied to surveillance and data-driven repression. The encyclical warns that some AI systems "reduc[e] victims to data" and calls on designers, lawmakers, and institutions to prioritize human dignity over efficiency. The meeting pairs papal moral authority with a prominent human rights voice, raising pressure on governments and tech leaders to adopt concrete AI rules that protect vulnerable populations.

Worth noting that Pope Leo is a car guy, and in fact worked on his own cars and his fellow priests' when he was a missionary in Peru. (Presumably none of them Ferraris.)
Too bad Pope Leo didn't get to take it for a few laps around the legendary F1 Monza circuit and put that bad girl through her paces.
Nobody gets into a car like Patriarch Kirill of Moscow
